Its title page describes it as "novels", in the plural, the reasons for which become apparent on reading.

Man from Nowhere / Ambrose, Joe ; Wilson, Jerry ; Rynne, Frank ; Burroughs WS ; Gysin B., 1992

 Item
Identifier: CC-26598-27067
Scope and Contents Topic deals with the work of Burroughs and Gysin. This bok is stored in the Burroughs box.Internet: William Burroughs and Brion Gysin blazed a trail of wild experimentation across the Twentieth Century. Their Cut Up Method changed the course of modern fiction and had a profound effect on film and rock music. Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Keith Richards, Genesis P Orridge, and Patti Smith are just some of their musical disciples. Their obsession with the wild heretical actions of Hassan I Sabbah bear witness to their truly rebellious nature. Their love of the Joujouka panic music was total. They challenged conventional notions of morality and paid no attention to the rules of society. This is the only study of the artistic collaborations between these two good friends. It was written by me, Frank Rynne, and Terry Wilson. Frank and I met Terry at a Notting Hill Arts Gallery early in 1992 - by the end of the year we were exhibiting Gysin, Hamri, and Burroughs paintings at the Project Arts...
